I’ve been pretty quiet around here after my trip as I’ve been busy with work and trying to take things slow to rest and reflect for the New Year.
With Christmas round the corner, I’m sure that many of you are keeping busy with Christmas activities with your kids. So I’ve invited the ever creative and energetic Alicia who blogs at Beanie N Us to guest post on an Christmas Advent Activity that will still have you in time for Christmas.
Take it away Alicia 🙂

OK, I have a confession to make – I am a hoarder.
The worst possible kind where I do not just hoard books (I still have yet to sell / throw out / giveaway the baby books which are at least 3 years old), clothes but I also hoard toilet roll cores, bubble wrap, cardboxes, felt and wrapping paper scraps, etc.
So it is one of my goals to start using those old packing from Fishpond and Book Depository. With Christmas coming up and we were planning for our Activities, I decided to use them in creating an Advent calendar.
In addition, I also wanted to look into some of Dumpling’s existing “toys” to see if we can use any of them in creating this calendar.
And this is what we did:
- Cardboard packaging from Fishpond
- Acrylic Paint
- Calendar Printout
- And lastly, guess what Dumpling and I found and decided to use for the frame?
Tada! A theatre frame which we bought some time back from ELC!
